Hi I have a NT workstation that is giving the following error message. Stop c0000221 (bad image checksum) the image shlwapi.dll is possibly corrupt the header checksum does not match the computed checksum. I have tried booting from the hard disk and from the computers boot disk but neither works. I then tried an emergency repair this took a while. It said that many files were corrupted it then replaced the files then after it rebooted it gave me the same error message. Has anyone seen this message before? If yes what was your solution?

thanks

YES. In my case I had to change HD. But in a other case i was able to just reimage it. I don't know if that's an option for you. Before you do this...wait for other answers or check out other resuources. I'm not too sure.
